3 At the same time aTattenai the governor of the region beyond1 the River and Shethar-Boznai and their companions came to them and spoke thus to them: b“Who has commanded you to build this2 temple and finish this wall?”
4 aThen, accordingly, we told them the names of the men who were constructing this building.
5 But athe eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, so that they could not make them cease till a report could go to Darius. Then a bwritten answer was returned concerning this matter.
6 This is a copy of the letter that Tattenai sent:
The governor of the region beyond the River, and Shethar-Boznai, aand his companions, the Persians who were in the region beyond the River, to Darius the king.
The governor of the region beyond the River, and Shethar-Boznai, aand his companions, the Persians who were in the region beyond the River, to Darius the king.
